Earlier this year, I had an unfortunate accident that led to a couple of foot surgeries. I was out enjoying the New Mexico desert when it attacked my foot by punching a hole in it. I had gone to the ER that night, but they told me to let it heal naturally. I wanted to see a foot doctor, but within a few days of the injury I was getting on a plane and flying up to Portland, OR. I had been planning the trip for a while. I would meet up with my good friend GRitter, we would see a couple friends in Portland, hike and camp in the Oregon and Washington wilderness, then meet up with my family in Seattle.Unfortunately, the injury put a damper on my plans. I was on crutches for a large portion of the trip, and definitely couldn't handle hiking or backcountry camping. So we modified the trip a bit. Instead of spending some time hiking Mt. Rainier National Park, we just camped one night there. We did explore the park by car. Then we decided since we weren't hiking, we could go see another park. So we ended up heading to the Olympic Peninsula and camping at Olympic National Park, a mere mile or two from the Pacific coast.

Anyway, we made the most of the trip regardless of my physical limitations. GRitter had seen my previous video adventures with Kimble and wanted to do something similar. So we filmed much of the trip, and below is the result. I meant to finish it sooner, but I became really busy with medical stuff and school. Now that my semester just ended, I was able to spend an evening on it. If you're wondering about the song, it was one that brought us joy throughout the trip and just seemed appropriate to use for the video. I've also included some pictures at the bottom.
